To'aZZ'wbom t may Concern Beit known that 1I, MICHAEL A. Kisnnnm a citizen of the United States, residing at Dickson," in the countylof Lackawanna andV State lof Pennsylvania, have invented cer-V being 'so constructed as to facilitate removal ofthe paste roller, there being also provided trimming devices for trimming the edges of the paper and paper severing means. It

efcient machine which can be manufactured 'at low cost. Other objects and featuresof novelty of the invention will appear from the detailed description taken in con- 1 nection with the accompanying two sheets of drawings forming cation."

Referring to' the drawings` Figure 1 is an end elevation of the im proved machine; f Y

Fig. 2fis affront elevation'of-the same, .parts being shown in section;

F ig.L 3 is a vertical transverse section;

Fig. t is a plan of the machine;

Fig. 5 is a section onvlin`e`5``5 of Fig. 3, and i Figs. 6, 7 and Bare fragments illustrating' details.

In the drawings, 10 indicates a shaft for supporting a roll of Wall paper 11, said shaft beinglmounted in side standards or supports 12 comprising the frame 'of the machine]V The standards are made in two parts a' and Z) for pearing. l

13 is a shaft extending between the standards 12, said shaft'bei'ng mounted vin the lower portion Z) ofthe frame. This shaft `supports a pasteroller 14 which dips into past'econtained:` in a receptacle secured to the frame rnembersh.` y l Fixed on shaft '13 is a beveled Ygear 15 and `fixed on shaft 10 is a similar gear 16. 17 4isavertical shaft Amounted in brackets 18, 'said shafthgwingr affixed thereto beveled gears' 19 and20 meshing with gears 16 uand respectively. Y It Will noW be understood between the i frames 12.

part of this speci` purposes hereinafter 'apsuitably secured to the side standards or that Whenrshaft 10 is rotated shaft 13 will also be rotated by means of said gearing.

21 is another shaft mounted in the frame, vand '2.2 is a beveled gear fixed to one end of said shaft. 23 is a gear fixed to shaft 17 and meshing With gear 22. Shaft.; 21 is, therefore, rotatable along With shaft 10.

24 f indicates aA pair of paper guiding members in the nature of .rollers mounted These rollers are mounted on either side of the top of roller 14 so as to cause the Wall paper When drawtn beneath said rollers, tof contact with the top of the paste roller for an obvious purpose. It 4maybe pointed out at this time that shafts 10. 13 and 21 are in substantially the same vertical plane. is afurther ob]e'ct to provide a compactand f 25 Yis a brush which is adapted to force thepaper against.l the wall diagrammatically This brush is piv'otally mounted on a rod 26 which is secured in'brackejts 12 extending from the upper en@L of the frame. The brush is removably mounted on said rod by means of clips 27. f rI`his arrangement enables the `brush to be readily removed for cleaning purposes. The brush is provided with a iandle 28'` Which` extends laterally of the brush proper. The handle is adapted to be grasped by the operator and sivung about its supporting shaft 26 as will be readily understodd. However, if the roll of paper is of sufliciently large diameter, theV handle may rest thereon during the operation of putting the paper on the wall.

29 indicates the bail-like handle by which the'machine is supported during the operation of applying the Wallpaper. 30 indi- Cates a vbail handle which may be'used for carrying the machine around. v

The paste receptacle is indicated at 31 and as shown may consist of a sheet metal pan parts?) of the frame. This receptacle is provided With removable covers 31 to allonv -access to said receptacle.

shaft 13 will separate from the bevel gear 20 on shaft 17. j

Means -for trimming the edges of the paper are also provided, these means constituting circulary cutters 35 adjustably mounted on the shaft 2l. 'Ihese cutters co-actl with the periphery of the roller 14 which forms a block or base against which the cutters re-arct, it being recalled that the wall paper is forced against thev top of roller 14; by the cross rods 24. It will be further recalled that shaft 2l is continuously driven along with shaft l() by the gear mechanism previously described.

In order to permit severance of a strip of paper after the same has passed over the roller 14, there is provided a straightl edge knife 36. This knife has angular extensions 37 which are mounted loose on the shaft 21 to permit the knife to be rocked on said shaft. A'spring 38 extending between said knife and frame l2 maintains the knife in the position shown in Figs. and 5. The edge of theV knife is preferably of saw-tooth design to prevent slippage of the paper as will be readily understood.

In order to enable ready placement and removal of the roll of paper 1l, the shaft 10 is removably held in the frame. 39 indicates a stub shaft which is mounted at the upper end of the spring element 39', this stub extending into the terminal end of the shaftlO proper. 'Ihe other end of shaft 10 is provided with an octagonal socket into which is entered the stub shaft 10 which extends from gear 16, this stub shaft extending through the frame l2, (see Fig. 6).

In order to prevent rotation of the roll of paper on the shaft 10, there is provided suitable frictionr means; In the present instance, this means takes the form of axially projecting fingers 40 extending from the ends of a tubular section i-1 constituting part of the shaft 10, said section having a radial flange 42 from which said lingers project. These lingers forced into one end of the roll as will be readily understood, (see Fig. 2).

In order to permit ready removal of the paste roller lll from the receptacle part b of the machine, the same has been mounted therein in a novel manner. Said roller has a short or stub shaft 43 which has bearing f in a shelf or ledge formed in the frame part Z) as clearly shown in Figs. 7 and 8. It will be noted that the adjacent ends of the frame parts a and L are rabbeted to form a firm connection therebetween. The other end of the roller is provided with an. octagonal socket which receives the stub shaft 15 projecting from the gear 15, (see Fig. 7). It will be understood that reference numeral 13 indicated the roller shaft as an entirety.

'Ihe operation of the machine will novv be briey described. Assuming that the receptacle 31 is filled with paste and that a roll of paper is mounted on the shaft 1Q, the `free end of the latter is passed beneath thecross rods or rollers 24 and led upwardly in front of the brush as shown in Fig. 3. After the free end of the paper has been attached to the wall, the machine is moved bodily downward, this movement causing the paper toV unwind from the roll 11, and in so unwind? ing it engages with the roller 14C to receive,

paste as will now be readily understood. As the paper is being drawn over the top'of roller let the circularI cutters 35 function to trim the side edges of the same, it being remembered that shaft. 21 is driven from shaft 10. Vhen it is desired to sever the paper the knife 36 is pressed forwardly to perforate the paper whereupon the same can be readily severed as will beA readily understood.

When it is desired to have access to the paste roller 14 ffor cleaning or otherwise,

the latch is released to permit tilting of the upper part of the machine about the Y that the roller ceases to rotateY for one rea- 'y son or another, and hence paste is not applied to the paper. Y
